New Exhaust (Quick Questions)

I'm going to be getting an Apexi N1 cat-back, and I want to know is:

Are there any other parts that I will need to install it?

It would be a good time replace worn out doughnut exhaust hangers.

You might want to look into the Apexi Active Silencers b/c if your like me the regular silencers just don't sound right and running no silencers is freaking loud!

Replace the gasket too. New bolts if the old ones are rusted. Though rusted bolts will probably work well enough if needed. If they're rusted you may want a can of liquid wrench and/or WD-40, and a good long wrench.

I wouldn't resort to hammering the wrench; if it's that stuck then you might break the head right off the bolt. At that point you either pull your hair and try whatever you can think of or pay someone to take a torch or drill to it.

If you have lowering springs, you'll probably want to either:
1) Reweld the hangers so that the cans sit higher up
2) Invest in some zipties

These cans sit quite a bit lower than the stock mufflers, and with my 1.5" springs, I could clear absolutely NOTHING with the original placement (I had a total of 0.2" of clearance). With the help of some zipties, I can now clear most speedbumps and some driveways without scrapin.

OK, thanks. I haven't lowered it yet, but I plan on it.

Would the hangers and gaskets from Racing Beat be able to fit the N1?

The RB gasket and hangers fit on the stock components and on RB components. I assume the N1 bolts to the stock cat, so the gasket should definitely fit. If the N1 works with stock hangers, then it'll work with the RB hangers.

I loved the sound of my single N1 before. But it did hang a bit low.Along with the donuts replace the bolts with stainless nuts and bolts so you can get it apart later.
